Re: Fog of war
I was under the impression that a right click just gives one the unit information screen, which would list the possible ammo load out for all units of that type, NOT what that particular unit has left on board. As far as renaming units, Greybeard over at the Blitz is famous for that. I asked him why once and he said because he could. He didn't do it to gain an advantage because he knew he wouldn't. The one time I tried re-naming a unit, my reward was a load of ICM and a burning FIST-V. It turned out that opponent shot at EVERYTHING, so he didn't care what the name was or prolly never even noticed.
There are some things you can do that you just can't ask your opponent about in the first place, since asking about them makes them not worth doing, so you might as well not do them.
I would never do my offsides play on a newbie, or even an old hand that I was playing the first time. Even though they would never know I did it. After I got to know them by playing a few games, then I might, IF I thought they would be cool with it and the circumstances warranted it. Gen SP at the blitz caught me one time. It was a map with lots of little hamlets and one big town just across the line on his side of the map. I went 90% infantry, since I was playing the Soviets and my plan involved denying him easy kill points while my soviet hordes advanced slowly thru the small town. About half way thru he wanted to know how my infantry got so far so fast, since he had the roads covered from the game start and was pretty sure no transport got into town. So I told him. He wasn't upset, but I was pretty sure he wouldn't be before I did it.
